UTEP has a lot of rather cool architecture. And I did NOTHING but had to meet the President of UTEP or something like that.

Only was there about 24 hours if that. Flew in late afternoon and left late afternoon on a plane trip they paid for along with a stay at a hotel in downtown El Paso, Texas.

NOTHING but had no sleep that night though.

Very interesting campus and the Head of Reference there was a former Reference Librarian from NYPL. Nice people there. It is about a 70% latino-latina university.

They were looking for a lawyer who could mentor very good students for getting them into the top twenty law schools or something like that. The lawyer would also handle legal reference work at UTEP.

I flew in from Tampa, Florida in shorts and was freezing when I landed.

I have played close attention to El Paso since then though.
